K Street and Wall Street have been playing CronyFest end game, carcass carving, not beast building.

In fact, the current politics has been actively discouraging beast building, with its quicksand panic, changing by the minute federal rules. No sane person wants to risk their own skin in this 'new' left wing game, and prepay their own ransom. All this so called 'pump priming', this frantic tribal political 'free-for-some' that is being thrown, is going nowhere we want to be.

Pure end game carcass carving. Obama and the Dems, with a nice send off by an equally clueless sellout GOP, are screwing the constructivist pooch, big time.

The pendulum swings are getting more frantically shorter, but the worse thing we could do is punish the Democrats by rewarding the equally clueless GOP.

We need to devolve centralized, monopolistic power to the point that it doesn't matter what set of penguin armed constructivists are keeping the plumbing of state clean and running; it is exactly what is tubing our economies.

SIngle point of failure, totalitarian solutions are insane. We need to restore federalism(a balance between state and federal power, sane governence), and drastically reduce the size of both distributed centers of power.

If this is 'economy running,' then America doesn't want it.

In America, instead of throwing telethons for paternalistic megalomania, we've been holding elections. We need to go back to a model of governance that reflects the fact that we are selecting state plumbers, -- a very honorable and important function, but not one that compels Americans to live for the plumbing. We need plumbing, but we don't live for it, and that includes, state plumbing. (Another reason to read Ayn Rand; you'll find that pithy observation made by her in 'We the Living.')

It is time to devolve these puppies, they have grown way too big. Monopolists with guns are no less dangerous to freedom than monopolists.
